SUMMARY:Diving Into the Fabric of Touch
DESCRIPTION:Diving into the Fabric of Touch: Technical &amp\; Relational Pr
 actices in the Movement of Contact Improvisation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis works
 hop is a dive into the fabric of touch that is key to our relational pract
 ices in the movement of Contact Improvisation – and for many of us\, in 
 the living of life itself. The material will be steeped in somatic communi
 cation. This adventure into our movement life begins within ourselves\, bu
 t moves outwardly\, to where selfhood refuses to be stable\, set and limit
 ing. Instead\, its instability is key to its creativity\, the play that ap
 pears when our relational communication is fluid\, movement scores through
 out our time will make this connection. We will form and reform what we kn
 ow as touch\, exploring how this touch translates into the flow of movemen
 t. We increase the strength of our moving together with the human and the 
 more than human worlds we also are.\n\nCreative\, thoughtful\, heart based
 \, skill based\, our learning will be anchored in the core principles of C
 ontact Improvisation\, such as: how to move weight like water – actions 
 of cascading. The details of touching within weight exchange. The rising a
 nd hanging of the body – each mode significant to communication. How att
 ention lives in the very small. Extending to form surfaces that arc. Learn
 ing to trust the physicality of our extended intelligence that underlies r
 eflexive action. The availability of many forms of temporal engagement. Ou
 r movement practices will include lots of dancing both as skills building 
 and exploration\, although\, in many cases these will be the same thing.\n
 \nNita Little is one of the earliest instigators of the Contact Improvisat
 ion dance form\, investigating alongside her then professor at Bennington 
 College\, Steve Paxton.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.wildheartcent
